“This property struck me as a smart choice for central London, particularly given its proximity to Fleet Street and key attractions. The inclusion of well-equipped kitchens in each apartment is a definite advantage, and the building's history adds a layer of character often missing in modern accommodations. I think the location is excellent for both business and leisure trips.”

easy walk great amenities
the location was perfect. the buses and trains were very close, and many attractions were within easy walking distance. the accommodation was clean and offered great amenities.
The room had only a small window facing a narrow shaft. This impacted fresh air circulation.

mixed feelings about this place

poor ventilation small window
the room felt quite stuffy. a small window opened just a crack to what they called an interior courtyard. no fresh air entered the room during my entire stay. the lack of proper ventilation made it uncomfortable.

adequate stay, some issues

good location city center short stay door code passport photo little daylight
the location was good, it was easy to reach various places by bus and metro. the city center was close. i could walk to big ben and covent garden in about 20 minutes, i thought this was very convenient. the apartment had everything needed for a short stay.
The door code arrived only a few hours before my arrival and i had to complete a questionnaire. i also had to upload a passport photo. doing this with a poor internet signal was difficult. It took over an hour to resolve the issue. the apartment had only one window that faced an interior courtyard and offered little daylight.
